These mark 1 Touaregs are fantastic, over-engineered tanks. Proper 4x4 off roaders with locking diffs. Show me a 2003 Range Rover with that amount of minimal problems after fairly scant service history! This tank will still be on the road after many Range & Land Rovers are on the scrap heap. From the video, the engine seems like a peach, still pulling like a train. Great car.

As a car dealer, not financially viable for you to do Matt, but for what you're asking for it, that's going to be a lot of car for a competent DIY'er, or someone who really wants a proper high end car and is not worried about it's final value. We paid just over market value for our daily, and then spent almost the same getting it to the standard we wanted. Never going to be worth anywhere near what we've spent on it, but we know we have a good reliable car 😁

I love the way Matt arrives at the vehicle- always parked in the same spot and then stays in his car, reversing back and forth, like scoping his prey. He daren’t get out until he’s checked ‘all is clear’ on Car Vertical, then he gingerly gets out to inspect it further. It’s like a modern day auto dealer version of a Stone Age hunter, stalking its prey…..😂

It's mad that cars like this will only have a year or two of life due to excessive tax and low value. The government should be encouraging us to keep these cars on the road as the vast majority of their environmental damage has been done in it's manufacture. More cars like this on the road make more work for local non-franshised garages to do servicing and repairs too. Well done HPA for keeping these cars going!

Uuuu that water leak at the back of the engine means engine out to fix it , back in the states at VW I did so many of these horrible v6 , they are not horrible to work on if you have the VW engine removal table and specific tools for it but otherwise it will be a nightmare , they love to overheat and also the bolt on the oil pump sprocket backs out and comes out through the aluminum timing cover , in late 2007 engines that was revised but this early one still have that problem, whomever buys this thing buys a time bomb

@ski.slime.go.slatty Engine management light was on, off ,on,off microswitches failed on tailgate and tailgate window (opens seperately) so had to open boot via a chord inside the boot by climbing Into the rear of the car. Prop shaft centre bearing went so new propshaft was needed. Passenger front window regulator went so I had to jam the window shut. I got the engine management light diagnosed and it was a timing issue. All this on a 50 odd thousand mile car with a full service history. I didn't want to sell it anyone with all these issues so I traded it in at a ford garage that had a suzuki grand vitiara that was a great car. I was honest about the condition of the Touareg and they just put it into auction

I was given one by a friend who was leaving the country. The engine was awesome and sounded great. The brakes were extremely variable and you could have lock or nothing or be fine, it made driving it very interesting. Also it was an automatic and the gear changes were again variable, it would either change up very early or very very late, and the suspension was dodgy. I sold it to my then boss and he got it sorted and loved it way past the time he made me redundant
